I emailed this seller when it came up before. I wrote I would drive to Long Island to buy it after seeing it for the buy it now price. They wanted my full name an address so they could set it up with ebay. I didn't bite. Too good to be true I guess.

Was this the $1200 bin?

...seems all of those 1200 bin auctions with a picture of text (so ebay can't do a keyword search) with a Gmail account are scams.If I remember correctly this one was Fsale08_at_gmail_dot_com .

They always have high dollar equipment starting at 108.22 or some other similarly absurd starting bid.

These people should be hanged by there toenails...

ok, back to positive thinking

I guess this was a hijacked account and I think the hijacker did not choose wisely... looked like an account from a Hunting store
